My first good animation - I used a simple Madness Combat character for this. It's not very original, and I couldn't find any good sound effects, and yes, i rushed the art - but it's still kind of funny. Any constructive comments would be great. Thanks!

Moral:

Don't kill wildlife.
::..Or else...
You will be struck with one of the oldest cartoon cliches in existence.

(You asked for constructive comments? You have one. Don't base your punchlines on overused cliches. When LooneyTunes did it, it wasn't so old, so it was good. Today, it is cliched and obvious. Humour comes from UNEXPECTED. You set up expectations and SUBVERT them. It would be funnier if the rifle DIDN'T shot, because it wouldn't be so predictable.
What is good though, is art. It is good example of using Madness graphic style, without copying it. You get 2 and 6, respectively on /5 and /10 scales.)

Yeah, i originally wasn't planning on posting this to Newgrounds - it was just kind of a bit of fun and practice. If I had been planning to publish it here in the first place, i would have probably made the effort to give him a more original death.

Seriously

You expect us to believe that the moral of this story is "dont kill wildlife"? How about "Don't freaking look down the barrel of a loaded gun"? Somehow I think that's more appropriate. Keep working at it :)
